A method and apparatus identify a subscriber station during a bandwidth request procedure. In one embodiment, a method of identifying a subscriber station from a quick access message includes receiving the quick access message from the subscriber station connected to a base station, where the quick access message includes a station identifier (STID) and a bandwidth request (BR) index assigned to the subscriber station. The method also includes determining whether the STID in the quick access message is assigned to multiple subscriber stations. Furthermore, the method includes identifying a subscriber station associated with the quick access message using the BR index in conjunction with the STID if the STID is assigned to the multiple subscriber stations. Moreover, the method includes performing an action identified by the BR index for the identified subscriber station in response to the quick access message. |
